Burns Night is just two nights away. On Burns Night Eve (i.e. January 24th), the West Coast Office will be leading a whisky tasting with friends, and Limpd will be hosting a whisky gathering at The Barthenon with his Pappy as Guest of Honor. While it’s highly doubtful […]
Always the dutiful son, I purchased a Whisky Advent Calendar for my Pappy from Master of Malt. This works out well as he has just about everything he could possibly need, and he loves his whiskey. As an added bonus, I sometimes get a dreg or two returned […]
I received the Sam Adams Winter sample pack as a gift from my sister-in-law. In the pack was the Chocolate Bock. I had reviewed this beer a long time ago when our blog was in its infancy and I was an inexperienced reviewer. With time, I have discovered […]

You would think that there would be a healthy dose of booze infused banter whenever two guys get together to do a bit of whisky taste testing, but the truth is that during these sessions, Limpd and I continually say “Don’t lead the witness!” whenever one of us blurts out […]
It’s December 31st, aka New Year’s Eve. A time for gathering with friends and family to look back on the 365 days that flew by at amazing speed, and to look ahead to the next 365 days. Since you’ve landed on a drinking blog, I think it’s fair […]
